JEFFERSON COUNTY —
A man was rushed to a Madison hospital with serious injuries after his helicopter crashed in a field early Friday.
According to an Indiana State Police press release, Kevin C. Rossan, 35, from Troy, Mich., was transported to the King’s Daughters Hospital in Madison after his crop duster helicopter crashed in a field in rural Jefferson County.
He was later taken to University of Louisville hospital and is listed in fair condition.
The helicopter was spraying a soybean field a half mile east of Ind. 3 on Ind. 256 near Deputy, when it crashed into the field at about 7:40 a.m., according to the release. The crop duster was spraying two chemicals, an insecticide and a fungicide.
The aircraft crashed when winds tipped its blades into the ground as Rossan was crop dusting a beanfield.
Rossan was the only person on the aircraft, which was owned by a Pennsylvania company.
Federal aviation officials will investigate the crash.
